There can be no rough Sanskrit translation, because the Wicked Witch of the West has no known middle name. In the original 1900 book edition, and in the beloved 1939 film version, of 'The Wizard of Oz', she was called the Wicked Witch of the West. It was only decades later, in 1995, that readers and viewers learned of the Witch's first and last names. In that year, Gregory Maguire [b. June 9, 1954] published 'Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West'. In that book, the Witch's name was revealed for the first time: Elphaba Thropp.


Why was the witch mean in the Wizard of Oz?

The Wicked Witch of the West is the foil, the complete opposite of Dorothy Gale. That opposition is more apparent in the beloved 1939 film version than in the original 1900 book edition of The Wizard of Oz. In the film, the Witch appears soon after Dorothy's farmhouse lands in the beautiful, enchanted, magical lands of Oz. From the moment that Dorothy gets the Slippers of the Wicked Witch of the East, she is perceived as the enemy of the Wicked Witch of the West. Until her death therefore, the Wicked Witch of the West is Dorothy's antagonist and her nemesis.

The Wicked Witch of the West wants the Slippers, and will do anything to get them. Dorothy realizes this, and keeps up a brave front in the face of a fearsome foe.
